when i sleep, there's a pair of boots at my bedside cooling down   when i dream, i'm a thunder strike in a quiet one-horse town   there is no one within a stones throw who knows my face   i'm on snow caps atop mountains before your best men wake      there is milk at the mountain-tops   that you shouldn't taste, but you gotta see   there are cracks in the mountain-side   that you overlooked, that are known to me   when you unearth it, will it be worth it   if i have held it? (cool treasure)   when you resurface, what is the purpose?   you cannot sell it (cool treasure)      with rewards on your mind, do you carry open hands?   it's on you, not on them   you should place your great demands      those quiet streams that sprinkle patient pans with gold   that fountain spring that pours its' youth inside the old   this life is long enough and gold could never shine   as bright as that which lights the days across my time      at the center of our earth there's another world to explore   it's a foreign land to a normal man   and it waits behind that door      at the center of our earth there's another world to explore    (cool treasure is mine to be had)   it's a foreign land to a normal man   and it waits behind that door    (i've waited a long time down here)   at the center of our earth there's another world to explore    (to see what has touched my brain)   it's a foreign land to a normal man   and it waits behind that door      (cool treasure is mine to be had   i've waited a long time down here   to see what has touched my brain   cool treasure is mine to be had   i've waited a long time down here...)
